1 Stalo se potom, že šeňkýř krále Egyptského a pekař provinili proti pánu svému, králi Egyptskému.

2 I rozhněval se Farao na oba úředníky své, na vládaře nad šeňkýři, a na vládaře nad pekaři.

3 A dal je do vězení v domě nejvyššího nad drabanty, do věže žalářné, v místo, v němž Jozef vězněm byl.

4 I postavil jim nejvyšší nad drabanty Jozefa k službě; a byli drahně dní u vězení.

5 I měli sen oba dva, každý z nich sen svůj noci jedné, každý podlé vyložení sna svého, šeňkýř i pekař krále Egyptského, kteříž seděli v věži.

6 Tedy přišel k nim Jozef ráno, a hleděl na ně; a aj, byli smutní.

7 I optal se těch úředníků Faraonových, kteříž s ním byli v vězení v domě pána jeho, řka: Proč jsou dnes tváři vaše smutnější?

8 Kteřížto odpověděli jemu: Měli jsme sen, a nemáme, kdo by jej vyložil. I řekl jim Jozef: Zdaliž Boží nejsou výkladové? Pravte mi medle.

9 Tedy správce nad šeňkýři vypravoval sen svůj Jozefovi, a řekl jemu: Zdálo se mi ve snách, že jsem viděl před sebou vinný kmen,

10 A na tom kmenu tři ratolesti; a ten kmen jako by pupence pouštěl, a vycházel květ jeho, až k sezrání přišli hroznové jeho.

11 A já maje koflík Faraonův v ruce své, bral jsem hrozny, a vytlačoval je do koflíka Faraonova, a podával jsem koflíka Faraonovi do rukou.

12 I řekl jemu Jozef: Toto jest vyložení jeho: Ti tři révové jsou tři dnové.

13 Po třech dnech povýší Farao hlavy tvé, a k úřadu tvému tě navrátí; i budeš podávati koflíka Faraonova do ruky jeho podlé obyčeje prvního, když jsi byl šeňkýřem jeho.

14 Ale mějž mne v své paměti, kdyžť se dobře povede; a učiň, prosím, se mnou to milosrdenství, abys zmínku učinil o mně před Faraonem, a vysvobodil mne z domu tohoto.

15 Nebo kradmo jsem vzat z země Židovské; a zde jsem ničeho neučinil, pročež by mne do tohoto vězení dali.

16 Vida pak správce nad pekaři, že dobře vyložil, řekl Jozefovi: Mně také zdálo se ve snách, ano tři košové pletení na hlavě mé.

17 A v koši vrchním byli všelijací pokrmové Faraonovi dílem pekařským strojení, a ptáci jedli je z koše nad hlavou mou.

18 I odpověděl Jozef a řekl: Toto jest vyložení jeho: Tři košové jsou Tři dnové.

19 Po třech dnech odejme tobě Farao hlavu tvou, a oběsí tě na dřevě; i budou jísti ptáci maso tvé s tebe.

20 Tedy stalo se v den třetí, v den pamatný narození Faraonova, že učinil hody všechněm služebníkům svým; i počítal hlavu vládaře nad šeňky, i hlavu vládaře nad pekaři, mezi služebníky svými.

21 A navrátil nejvyššího nad šeňky k místu jeho, aby podával koflíku Faraonovi do ruky.

22 Vládaře pak nad pekaři oběsil, tak jakž jim byl sen vyložil Jozef.

23 A nezpomenul správce nad šeňky na Jozefa, ale zapomenul na něj.

5159. 'And it happened on the third day' means in the final phase. This is clear from the meaning of 'the third day' as the final phase of a state; for 'day' means state, 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850, and 'third' that which is complete, and so comes last, 1815, 2788, 4495. By the final phase of a state is meant the point when the previous state comes to an end and the new one begins. In the case of the person who is being regenerated a new state begins when order is turned around. The change takes place when interior things are given dominion over exterior ones, and exterior things begin to serve interior ones - which involves both ideas in the understanding and desires in the will. People who are being regenerated are conscious of this change as an inner urge not to allow sensory delights and bodily or earthly pleasures to take control, and draw ideas present in the understanding over to their own side to support them. When this change takes place the previous state has reached its final phase and the new one is entering its first. This is what is meant by 'on the third day'.

[2] In everyone, whether or not he is being regenerated, changes of state take place, and order is turned around. Yet such changes are different in the case of those who are being regenerated than in the case of those who are not being regenerated. With those who are not being regenerated those changes of state or order are due to physical causes or are attributable to causes associated with life in the community. Physical causes are those impulses which arise at one stage in life and subside at another, in addition to the giving of deliberate thought to physical health and a long life in the world. The causes connected with life in the community are the external, visible curbs a person has to place on his real desire, so that he may earn a reputation for being a wise person and a lover of what is righteous and good, when in fact the acquisition of position and material gain is his real reason for pursuing such. But in the case of people who are being regenerated, such changes of state or order are attributable to spiritual causes which spring from goodness and righteousness themselves; and when a person starts to have an affection for these he is at the end of the previous state and at the beginning of the new one.

[3] But as few are capable of seeing the truth of all this, let an example serve to shed light on the matter. Anyone who does not allow himself to be regenerated loves things of the body for their own sake, not for any other reason; and he loves the world too for its own sake. His love does not reach any higher because at heart he refuses to accept anything higher or more interior. On the other hand one who is being regenerated also loves things of the body, and worldly things likewise. Yet he loves them for higher or more interior reasons. He loves things of the body because he wishes to have a healthy mind inside a healthy body. Also, he loves his own mind and its healthiness for an even more interior reason, namely that he may have a wise discernment of what is good and an intelligent understanding of what is true. He also loves worldly things as much as others do, yet for the reason that the world, worldly wealth, possessions, and positions of importance may serve him as the means to put what is good and true or what is just and fair into effect.

[4] This example enables one to see what each one - the regenerate and the unregenerate - is really like, and to see that outwardly the two are apparently alike but that inwardly they are totally different. From this one may also recognize the identity and the essential nature of the causes which bring about the changes of state and turnings around of order that take place with people who are not being regenerated and those that take place with people who are being regenerated. One may also see that in the case of regenerate persons interior things have dominion over exterior ones, whereas in the case of unregenerate persons exterior ones have dominion over interior. The reasons or the ends that a person has in view are what have dominion, for those ends subordinate everything else in a person and make it subject to themselves. The person's whole life is conditioned entirely by his end in view, for that end is what he loves all the time.
